The two-hour production will be the West Coast premiere of what the company’s artistic director, Kevin Irving, has called a “giddy and delightful” ballet by Septime Webre, who created it for the Washington Ballet, where he was artistic director for 17 years. Irving promises enough scenery, costumes and special effects to rival a Broadway production. The Oregon Ballet Theatre orchestra will play at all performances.

Webre told the Austin American-Statesman last year that he’s always found the Alice in Wonderland story compelling because of “this little girl’s finding herself by encountering so many outrageous characters. It’s so trippy, and the characters so outsized and exaggerated.”
